Avocado Egg Rolls with Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce
Description
This recipe starts with a combination of ripe avocados mixed with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced red onion, and fresh cilantro to create a creamy and flavorful filling. Each egg roll wrapper is carefully filled, folded, and sealed to enclose the avocado mixture entirely.
Frying the rolls in hot oil until golden creates a crispy exterior that holds the soft filling. Cutting the rolls diagonally before serving reveals the smooth avocado interior contrasted by the crunchy crust.
The accompanying Chipotle Ranch dipping sauce blends mayonnaise, sour cream, dry ranch seasoning, garlic, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. This sauce adds a smoky heat and creamy bite that complements the mild avocado filling.
Though nutrition information is an estimate due to ingredient variability, the recipe reflects careful consideration of cooking oil retention and seasoning balance for a flavorful fried snack.
Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning dry
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 2 chipotles in adobo seeds removed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
Egg Rolls:
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
- 3 avocado large
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped, in oil
- 3 tablespoons red onion finely minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro fresh, minced
- 9 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
Make the dipping sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until needed.
Make the egg rolls:
- Heat several inches of oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pan until it reaches 350ºF to 375ºF.
- In a large bowl, combine the avocados, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Mix.
- Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, lay the wrapper on a surface in front of you like a diamond. Add about 1/3 cup of the avocado mixture to the center. Fold in the two sides, then fold over the bottom. Roll until the filling is completely enclosed in the center of the roll. Wet the corner of the wrapper so that it will stick. Continue with the rest of the wrappers and filling.
- Drop the egg rolls in the hot oil, 2 to 3 at a time, and cook until golden brown, turning as needed. Drain on a paper bowl lined plate
- To serve, cut in half diagonally. Serve with the Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce.
Notes
- Nutritional values are estimates and may vary with different brands and cooking methods.
- Maintaining oil temperature between 350ºF and 375ºF ensures even frying without excess oil absorption.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut egg rolls diagonally for a clean presentation.
